This dataset contains the underway data from the Aurora Australis Voyage 4 (SEXY) 1997-98. This voyage was a part resupply/changeover, part seal survey cruise, which visited Casey, Davis, Mawson and Macquarie Island. Underway (meterological, fluorometer, thermosalinograph and bathymetry) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (see URL given below). Documentation on data quality and instrumentation are available via the Related URL section.

This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage 4 1998-99 (SEXY II). This voyage departed Hobart to Casey, Davis and Samsom Island, returning to Fremantle after sustaining damage to the propeller system. Underway (meteorological, fluorometer, thermosalinograph and bathymetry) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via URL given below).

This dataset contains the underway data from Voyage 1 1993-94 (THIRST) of the Aurora Australis. This was a manned marine science voyage. DLS data types were logged at 10-second intervals. The observations were taken between August and October 1993 en route from Hobart to Macquarie Island to Heard Island and back to Hobart. See the Marine Science Support Programmer's and Data Quality Reports at the Related URL section. XBT data were obtained on the legs to and from Hobart. CTD data were collected around Heard Island. Also available is a scan of a printed plot of a section of the Voyage 1 1993/94 (THIRST) track in the Heard Island area, 28 August to 28 September 1993.

This dataset contains locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on voyage 4 of the Aurora Australis in the 2002/2003 season (KAOS). Samples were collected between January and March of 2003. The dataset also contains information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species identification and counts. Public Summary from the project: This program aims to determine the role of single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses in Antarctic waters. We quantify their vital role as food for other organisms, their potential influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS, and determine their response to effect of climate change. For more information, see the other metadata records related to ASAC project 40 (ASAC_40). The fields in this dataset include: Voyage Tube Label Date (UTC) Time (UTC) Time (Local) CTD Number Niskin Bottle Nominal Depth (m) Latitude Longitude Sea Temperature Ice (Presence or Absence) Plankton Net Sample Pigments

In 1985, the Nella Dan was trapped in sea ice for several weeks while undertaking a marine science voyage. During the time it was trapped, iceberg drift was measured in the region, tracking the movement of several icebergs relative to the ship. Iceberg movements included mt biscoe angle, bearing, and ship position so can get rotations with redundancy. Observations were done several times a day. The physical logs are archived at the Australian Antarctic Division.
